This in itself is progress :) But it also says it has found '42 new conflicting DVB channels'. Now, the word 'conflicting' makes me think I can ignore these, but if I do ignore them then I don't get channels such as BBC2 at all. This is where my frustration is coming in - I'm having to manually set channel number for 42 channels. What am I doing wrong?

If you are working with a main transmitter you'll probably get around 
115 channels eventually.  The Transport editor should show 5 SD 
transports and, if you have HD hardware, 1 HD transport.

By now you may know which transports you want and which come from other 
transmitter(s).  Delete the ones that you don't want, delete all dvb 
channels, and go round the 'all known transports/ look for linked 
transports' loop again, and perhaps again...

If things still don't work it might help if we knew -approximately - 
where you are.

And, by the way, I think you might think about the motivations of 
Panasonic and the developers of Open Source software.

And there's a good searchable source of info here:
